Just completed 31 weeks of pregnancy and so far, so good. One more week and the twins would only be 'medium premature'... 3 more weeks and they would only be 'small premature' and 5 more weeks... and they are considered almost full term. In fact the standard in France is to induce at 38 weeks (end of April) if we make it that far - although our doctor would probably be willing to let us go at least another week.
The great news is that the doctor is very pleased with how things are looking right now and believes that as long as I keep taking life relatively easy I may well hit the 38 weeks of pregnancy! Not quite sure how I will move at all at that point - I already feel like a pregnant beached whale flapping my extremities when trying to get anywhere... - but this would be great for the twins.
We've started sorting out clothes, etc., to get ready for the big day. Daunting to think that soon we will be a 5-person family (particularly on days when Samuel decides to be more stubborn or excitable than usual!), but equally we're very much looking forward to getting to know our two new sons.
